I have to agree. Although I don't necessarily agree with Rep. Paul on the foreign policy issues, he does have a strong grass-roots campaign, even if it has been somewhat hijacked by a few crazies. Third place is a decent finish for Rep. Paul, considering I don't think he's going for the GOP nomination.
Actually it’s the other way around. The grassroots actually are the crazies, and always have been. But I give them credit for being the loudest, the most loyal, and the most persistent in getting disaffected dems, and other non-voting independents into their camp.
